  Cork in this was black but did remove in one piece. Seemed to lack acidity, but still showing primary tropical notes on the nose and palate. No appearance of any petrol or other tertiary notes. Holding well, but showing less than I had hoped.

  AP number 15 from 2001. Good showing for this wine though still seems a bit youthful. I remember early going a bit of spritz with a round sweetness. Spritz is gone; understated nose of apple/pear; still quite sweet with fresh and taut acidity. Ideal wine to pair with some pan glazed pork chops!

  Some wines are worth the patience it takes to show their potential. This wine exemplifies that concept. Composed and delicious. Gobs of yellow stone fruits, beautifully framed by perfectly integrated acidity. Some petrol and sweetness in the background. Oh how I wish I had loaded up on this wine. As good as it gets. My WOTN.

  Really one of my all-time favorite rieslings, or wines, for that matter. That layered nose of petrol and apricot and honey. I love the petrol on this one. Layers of orchard fruit-apricot-peach spiked... and that acidity! The '01 acidity is here for days. Yet, the balance is impeccable. Finishes with a chiseled sweetness that just coats the palate with energy. Hard to resist.

  In the zone. Good, vibrant acid. Good length. Very floral for a riesling.
